The player should speak to the strangely dressed noble. He will direct them to go to the Barbed Hook tavern and find the Veiled Heritance recruiter (Palomir).

Once the player enters the Barbed Hook tavern, they should speak to Palomir just to the right.

Once they have spoken to Palomir, they should exit the tavern and head back inland. There, they can speak to any Royal Guard, and they will be given the option to persuade or bribe the guard for money. Once they have obtained the sword, they should return to Palomir in the Barbed Hook tavern and give him the sword. They will share a drink with him, pass out, and awake on Errinorne Isle, training ground of the Veiled Heritance.

Once they awake, sthey should peak with Palomir just to their right, where he will inform them that they have been chosen to join the Veiled Heritance as an officer.
